When will Creed 2 begin production?

“I’m not sure yet,” Jordan told Weintraub, despite Winkler’s hopes that the film would be in pre-production in Spring, 2016 and in theatres by late 2017. With creator / director Ryan Coogler completely tied down with the “Black Panther” project, it’s unlikely he’ll be freed to work on Creed 2 anytime this year.

“I’m in this world, so I know it’s something that’s gonna happen,” Jordan says of the Creed movie sequel. “I’m not sure exactly when, but it’s something that we are talking about and thinking about because it’s such an important story.”

While the first Creed has the muscles to stand alone, fans of the Rocky spinoff are anxious to follow the storyline of the new characters created by Ryan Coogler. Sly Stallone himself hinted months ago that story ideas for a sequel were in the works, including a potential flashback sequence featuring Rocky and Apollo Creed. Others close to the production intimated that a Creed 2 and Creed 3 were definite possibilities down the pipeline.
